We heard a loud noise in the engine area, when going over bumps. Took it to our mechanic, and he found a loose fan shroud and tightened it up. Two weeks later the power steering went out while my husband was driving. We towed the 2006 toyota tacoma double cab to the dealership we bought the car from, and they finally told us the frame was broken under the engine area, right next to the power steering. They told us…

I own a 2006 tacoma trd sport with 67000 miles that i bought with 39000 miles on it. I fanaticaly take care of this vehicle, going as far as crawling under it to wash the frame. When doing this i noticed that wherever there is a weld or flat surface that the paint is missing and there is rust. I have read in many articles that these frames as well as previous generation tacomas were made by dana and that there were…

The frame of my 2006 toyota tacoma is severely rusted at all welds and connections. Since the car is garaged 95% of the time and the vehicle only has 12,000 miles on it and since i wash it regularly it makes even less sense. I've taken the vehicle to the dealer and they confirmed it was severely rusted but not yet "perforated"--the criteria for the warranty to kick in. The technician told me it was the worst he'd…

2006 toyota tacoma tailgate is dangerously weak, and is unable to support what most consider normal weight for a truck tailgate. Although substandard design may be considered "buyer beware", truck buyers expect a tailgate to support the weight of normal truck use activities. Toyota provides no warning or caution anywhere that the tailgate is of insufficient strength to perform normal 1/2-ton truck duties, and…
